OK, I fully realize that. My plan is to simply
 (a) find out what statistics do we need to collect and how to use it (b) implement a really stupid inefficient
solution(c) optimize in iterations, i.e. making it faster, consuming less     space etc.
 

It will take time, it won't be perfect for a long time, but every
journey starts somewhere.
